Kennebunk Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee, let’s talk about what’s happening around Kennebunk Beach.

Honestly, mate, these next two weeks look pretty tough for us. The surf is mostly a no-go. For the first few days, through to the 4th and 5th of July, it’s barely a ripple. Tiny little 0.7ft to 1.0ft slop from the southeast with short periods. The wind is swinging around from cross to cross-on, just chopping up what little energy there is. This isn’t surf; it’s a lake.

We do get a bit of a pulse starting around Tuesday the 7th. Tuesday morning is a tease with 3ft and a clean offshore wind from the ENE, but the period is a shocking 5 seconds, so it’s just bumpy close-out junk. Tuesday afternoon is the only window that even registers as surfable. We get a jump up to 5ft from the south-southeast, with 6-second period. The wind is offshore from the northeast, keeping it clean. It's still pretty average, but it’s the best we’ve got. The swell direction isn’t really what we want, being a bit sheltered from the east-northeast optimum, but beggars can’t be choosers.

Wednesday the 8th keeps that small trend alive with 4ft to 4ft from the southeast. Clean cross-offshore winds from the east in the morning, then light breezes in the arvo. It’s still just “surfable but ordinary.”

After that, it pretty much fades back into nothing again. We get a brief spike on Thursday the 9th afternoon with 5ft from the SSE, but the wind is a messy 16 mph cross-onshore from the south, making it a total write-off. By the 10th it’s back to 1ft with glassy conditions, but no swell to work with. Honestly, the whole second week is just tiny, weak, and poor.

The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but you won’t be in the water long enough to notice with those dribbly waves.

If you had to pick a session, Tuesday afternoon the 7th is your one and only play. It’s not great, but it’s the closest we get to a wave. Keep an eye on the charts.

Rusty.
